RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
(a) | Organization and Business |
Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as “Radio One”) and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations and other media properties. The Company owns and/or operates 69 radio stations in 22 markets throughout the United States. In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to create TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an entity formed to operate a cable television network featuring lifestyle, entertainment, and news-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. In February 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”) for approximately $55.8 million in a combination of approximately $30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of the Company’s Class D common stock.
The Company’s operating results are significantly affected by its share of the audience in markets where it owns and/or operates stations. To increase its share, the Company has made and may continue to make significant acquisitions of and investments in radio stations and other media properties, which may require it to incur additional debt. The service of this debt will require the Company to make significant debt service payments.
(b) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation.
(c) | Interim Financial Statements |
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Radio One and subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the interim financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2004 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/ A.
(d) | Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable (which are included in

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
other current assets), accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt and subscriptions receivable. The carrying amounts approximate fair value for each of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, except for the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated notes. The 87/8% senior subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately $321.8 million and $334.1 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In February 2005, the Company completed the private placement of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes. The 63/8% senior subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately $196.5 million as of June 30, 2005. The fair value was determined based on the fair market value of similar instruments.
(e) | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising when the commercial is broadcast and is reported net of agency commissions in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,“Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Topic 13,“Revenue Recognition, Revised and Updated.”Agency commissions, when applicable, are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing. Generally, clients remit the gross billing amount to the agency and the agency remits the gross billing, less their commission, to the Company. Agency commissions were approximately $13.0 million and $12.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Agency commissions were $23.1 million and $21.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(f) | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”),“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”),“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based upon the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price.
At June 30, 2005, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25 and related interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

(h) | Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders |
The net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (defined as net income less dividends on the Company’s preferred stock) was approximately $19.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The net income applicable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $26.8 million and $16.2 million, respectively.
(i) | Earnings Per Share |
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and diluted common equivalent shares for stock options and warrants outstanding during the period the calculation is made, divided into the net income applicable to common stockholders. Diluted common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

2. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), (“SFAS No. 123(R)”),“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees, including employee stock purchase plans. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Disclosure of the effect of expensing the fair value of equity compensation is currently required under existing literature. The statement also requires the tax benefit associated with these share based payments be classified as financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows rather than operating activities as currently permitted. The SEC delayed the required implementation date for this statement from the third quarter of 2005 to the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year. The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to compute the fair value of its stock options in connection with its disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized for such options at the date of grant. However, a number of technical implementation issues have not yet been resolved, including the selection and use of an appropriate valuation model, and therefore, the Company has not yet determined the ultimate impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
3. | ACQUISITIONS: |
In February 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media for approximately $55.8 million in a combination of approximately $30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of the Company’s Class D common stock. Reach Media commenced operations in 2003 and was formed by Tom Joyner, Chairman, and David Kantor, Chief Executive Officer, to operate the Tom Joyner Morning Show and related businesses. Reach Media primarily derives its revenue from the sale of advertising inventory in connection with its syndication agreements. Mr. Joyner is a leading nationally syndicated radio personality. The Tom Joyner Morning Show is broadcast on over 115 affiliate stations across the United States and is a top-rated morning show in many of the markets in which it is broadcast. Reach Media also operates the Tom Joyner Sky Show, the Tom Joyner Family Reunion and various other special event-related activities. Additionally, Reach Media operates BlackAmericaWeb.com, an African-American targeted internet destination, and airs a television program on TV One. The Company allocated approximately $1.2 million of the purchase price to net working capital balances and the remaining amount to other intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005, pending completion of the purchase price allocation.
In November 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WABZ-FM, a radio station located in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Upon completing the acquisition, the Company consolidated the station with its existing Charlotte operations, changed the call sign to WPZS-FM and reformatted the station. The total acquisition price was approximately $11.5 million in cash. The Company initially allocated the full value of the purchase price to radio broadcasting licenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. Upon completion of this purchase price allocation in February 2005, the allocation was adjusted and approximately $11.4 million and $76,000 was assigned to radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, respectively.
In October 2004, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation (“NMBC”), which owned WAMJ-FM, a radio station located in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Company had operated WAMJ-FM under a local marketing agreement (“LMA”) since August 2001. New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation’s majority shareholder was an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. The total acquisition price was approximately

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
$35.0 million in cash. The Company initially allocated the full value of the purchase price to radio broadcasting licenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005. Upon completion of this purchase price allocation in April 2005, the allocation was adjusted and approximately $32.0 million was assigned to radio broadcasting licenses, approximately $2.0 million was assigned to goodwill, and $872,000 was assigned to other assets.
In February 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WSNJ-FM, a radio station located in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Upon receiving the necessary regulatory approvals, the Company consolidated the station with its existing Philadelphia operations, changed the call sign to WRNB-FM and reformatted the station. The acquisition price was approximately $35.0 million in cash. The Company initially allocated the full value of the purchase price to radio broadcasting licenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. Upon completion of the purchase price allocation in January 2005, the allocation was adjusted and approximately $34.9 million and $54,000 was assigned to radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, respectively.
4. | INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY: |
In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to create TV One, an entity formed to operate a cable television network featuring lifestyle, entertainment and news-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. The Company has committed to make a cumulative cash investment of $74.0 million in TV One over approximately four years, of which the Company has already funded $37.0 million. In December 2004, TV One entered into a distribution agreement with DIRECTV, Inc. (“DIRECTV”) and certain affiliates of DIRECTV became investors in TV One. As of June 30, 2005, the Company owned approximately 36% of TV One on a fully converted basis.
The Company has recorded its investment at cost and has adjusted the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the change in the Company’s claim on the net assets of TV One resulting from losses of TV One as well as other capital transactions of TV One using a hypothetical liquidation at book value approach. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s losses was $304,000 and approximately $1.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s losses was $763,000 and approximately $3.8 million, respectively. Under the hypothetical liquidation at book value approach, the decrease in the Company’s claim on the change in net assets of TV One resulting from additional equity contributed to TV One by investors, resulted in an insignificant decrease to additional paid-in capital of the Company in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51,“Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary.”
The Company also entered into separate network services and advertising services agreements with TV One in 2003. Under the network services agreement, which expires in January 2009, the Company is providing TV One with administrative and operational support services and access to Company personalities. Under the advertising services agreement, the Company is providing a specified amount of advertising to TV One over a term of five years ending in January 2009. In consideration of providing these services, the Company has received equity in TV One, and receives an annual fee of $500,000 in cash for providing services under the network services agreement.
The Company is accounting for these services transactions in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, Issue No. 00-8,“Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to Be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services.”As these services are provided to TV One, the Company is recording revenue based on the fair value of the most reliable unit of measurement in these transactions. For the advertising services agreement, this has been determined to be the value of underlying advertising time that is being provided to TV One. For the network services agreement, this has been determined to be the
11
RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
initial value of the equity received in TV One. As a result, the Company is re-measuring the fair value of the equity received to complete its obligations under the network services agreement in each subsequent reporting period as the services are provided. The Company recognized $674,000 and $423,000 of revenue relating to these two agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company recognized approximately $1.3 million and $1.5 million of revenue relating to these two agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

from October 1, 2006 and thereafter, (c) limitations on liens, (d) limitations on the sale of assets, (e) limitations on the payment of dividends, and (f) limitations on mergers, as well as other customary covenants.

The previous credit agreement provided for borrowings of up to $600.0 million, and consisted of a $350.0 million term facility and a $250.0 million revolving facility.
The Credit Agreement, and the indentures governing the Company’s senior subordinated notes, contain covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, purchase capital stock, make capital expenditures, make investments or other restricted payments, swap or sell assets, engage in transactions with related parties, secure non-senior debt with assets, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets.

6. | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY: |
On May 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $150.0 million of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock over a period of 18 months, with the amount and timing of repurchases based on stock price, general economic and market conditions, certain restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement, the indentures governing the Company’s senior subordinated debt, and certain other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any of its common stock and may be discontinued or suspended at any time.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, 137,100 shares of Class A and 988,800 shares of Class D common stock were repurchased at an average price of $13.15 and $13.17, respectively.
In February 2005, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 61/2% Convertible Preferred Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities (“HIGH TIDES”) in the aggregate sum of approximately $309.8 million. This redemption was financed with the net proceeds of the sale of the Company’s 63/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and available excess cash.
7. | INCOME TAXES: |
On June 30, 2005, the state of Ohio enacted a law that will phase-out the Corporation Franchise Tax and phase-in a Commercial Activity Tax. The Commercial Activity Tax is based on gross receipts. Temporary differences reversing after the phase-in period of the gross receipts based tax will no longer impact the Company’s income tax provision. The Company has determined the likelihood of a reversal of the temporary differences within the five year period of the phase-out is unlikely, as these temporary items

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
have indefinite lives. Therefore, the Company reduced its deferred tax liability and recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following information should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Introduction
Revenue |
We primarily derive revenue from the sale of advertising time and program sponsorships to local and national advertisers. Advertising revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market. These rates are largely based upon a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, the number of radio stations in the related market, and the supply of and demand for radio advertising time. Advertising rates are generally highest during morning and afternoon commuting hours.
�� On February 28, 2005, we acquired 51% of the common stock of Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”). Reach Media primarily derives revenue from the sale of advertising time on the affiliate stations which broadcast the Tom Joyner Morning Show. The affiliate radio stations provide Reach Media with advertising inventory on their stations which is then sold to the marketplace through a sales representative agreement with ABC Radio Networks. ABC Radio Networks guarantees Reach Media an agreed upon amount of annual revenue with the potential to earn additional amounts if certain revenue goals are met. The agreement with ABC Radio Networks runs through 2009. Additional revenue is generated by Reach Media from special events, sponsorships, its internet business and other related activities.
Approximately 65% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 33% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the three months ended June 30, 2005. In comparison, approximately 71% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 27% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Approximately 67% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 30% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the six months ended June 30, 2005. In comparison, approximately 70% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 27% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The balance of revenue was generated primarily from tower rental income, ticket sales and revenue related to our sponsored events, management fees and other revenue.
In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade or barter agreements to reduce cash expenses by exchanging advertising time for goods or services. In order to maximize cash revenue for our spot inventory, we monitor and limit the use of trade agreements.
Expenses |
Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses, (iii) advertising and promotion expenses, (iv) rental of premises for studios, (v) rental of transmission tower space and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources, management information systems, and the overall programming management function. We also use our multiple stations, market presence and purchasing power to negotiate favorable rates with certain vendors and national representative selling agencies.
We generally incur advertising and promotional expenses to increase our audiences. However, because Arbitron reports ratings quarterly, any changed ratings and therefore the effect on advertising revenue, tends to lag behind the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenditures.

Measurement of Performance |
We monitor the growth and operational results of our business using net income and the following key metrics:
(a) Net broadcast revenue: The performance of an individual radio station or group of radio stations in a particular market is customarily measured by its ability to generate net broadcast revenue. Net broadcast revenue consists of gross broadcast revenue net of local and national agency commissions, consistent with industry practice. Net broadcast revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are broadcast. Net broadcast revenue also includes advertising aired in exchange for goods and services, which is recorded at fair value. | |
(b) Station operating income: Net income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity in net loss of affiliated company, minority interest in income of subsidiary, other expense, corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation and non-cash compensation expenses is commonly referred to in our industry as station operating income. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless we believe station operating income is often a useful measure of a broadcasting company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets because station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our physical plant, income taxes provision, investments, debt financings, overhead and non-cash compensation. Station operating income is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Station operating income does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. | |
(c) Station operating income margin: Station operating income margin represents station operating income as a percentage of net broadcast revenue. Station operating income margin is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless, we believe that station operating income margin is a useful measure of our performance because it provides helpful information about our profitability as a percentage of our net broadcasting revenue. | |
(d) EBITDA: Net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our industry as “EBITDA.” EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business because EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financings, and our provision for tax expense. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides helpful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our physical plant or capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. |

2005 | 2004 | Increase/(Decrease) | ||||||||||||
$101,525 | $ | 86,210 | $ | 15,315 | 17.8 | % |
During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized approximately $101.5 million in net broadcast revenue compared to $86.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. These amounts are net of agency commissions, which were approximately $13.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to approximately $12.1 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net broadcast revenue was due primarily to our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, increased pricing for advertising on our stations that resulted from improvement in the general economy, increased listenership and ratings, and revenue from three new stations launched in late 2004. The revenue growth in many of our markets, including, Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas,
28
Houston, Indianapolis, Raleigh and Washington, DC, was partially offset by revenue declines in some of our other markets, including Philadelphia and St. Louis due to format changes, Los Angeles due to soft ratings, and Baltimore and Detroit due to general market conditions. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, our net broadcast revenue increased 7.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Programming and technical expenses include expenses associated with on-air talent and the management and maintenance of the systems, tower facilities, and studios used in the creation, distribution and broadcast of programming on our radio stations. Programming and technical expenses also include expenses associated with our research activities and music royalties. The increase in programming and technical expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily from our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, and to a lesser extent, an increase in programming expenses relating to our on-air talent, music royalties, incremental costs relating to expanding our presence on the Internet and three new stations launched in late of 2004. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, programming and technical expenses increased 3.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with our sales departments, offices, facilities and headcount (outside of our corporate headquarters), marketing expenses, back office expenses, and the advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily from our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media. The increase also resulted from higher compensation (mainly commissions and national rep fees) and other selling expenses driven by increased revenue, and sales expenses associated with three new stations launched in late 2004. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation consist of expenses associated with maintaining Radio One’s and Reach Media’s corporate headquarters and facilities, including headcount. The increase in corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2005, resulted primarily from our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, increased compensation, and additional professional fees. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation increased 14.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we issued restricted stock to certain on-air talent, some of which vested immediately.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was due primarily to the completion of amortization of some of our trade names in late 2004, partially offset by depreciation for our additional capital expenditures made since the second quarter of 2004. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, depreciation and amortization expense decreased 31.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

The increase in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2005, resulted from the write-off of approximately $2.1 million of deferred financing costs associated with the June 2005 refinancing of our bank credit facilities. The refinancing consisted of entering into a $800.0 million credit agreement, and the simultaneous borrowing of $437.5 million to retire our previous bank credit facilities. The increase in interest expense also resulted from additional interest obligations incurred from borrowings to partially fund the February 2005 redemption of our Convertible Preferred Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities (“HIGH TIDES”) for approximately $309.8 million, and the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media. The redemption of the outstanding HIGH TIDES was funded with the issuance of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes and $110.0 million borrowed under our previous revolving credit facility. The acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media was partially funded with $25.0 million borrowed under our previous revolving credit facility.

See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion. In December 2004, we modified our methodology for estimating our equity in the net loss of TV One. As a result of this modification, we recognized a net loss of $304,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.4 million in for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to a favorable change to Ohio state tax laws enacted on June 30, 2005. The decrease was partially offset by our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, an increase in the reserve for contingencies, and an increase in our effective tax rate due to permanent differences between income subject to income tax for book versus tax purposes. Excluding the increase in the reserve for contingencies, and the decrease in the provision due to the to the Ohio tax law change, our effective tax rate as of June 30, 2005 was 40.2%, compared to 39.2% as of June 30, 2004. The effective tax rate as of June 30, 2005 does not reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), given we have not yet adopted this pronouncement. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, the provision for income taxes decreased 29.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2005., compared to the same period in 2004.

Net income applicable to common stockholders is defined as, net income less dividends on our outstanding HIGH TIDES. The increase in net income applicable to common stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2005, was attributable to an increase in net income of approximately $2.4 million and the elimination of preferred stock dividends of approximately $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005. In February 2005, we redeemed our outstanding HIGH TIDES using proceeds from our sale of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes, borrowings of $110.0 million under our revolving bank credit facility, and available excess cash.
Other Data

The increase in net broadcast revenue was due primarily to our consolidation of the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, increased pricing for advertising on our stations that resulted from improvement in the general economy, increased listenership and ratings, and revenue from three new stations launched in late 2004. The revenue growth in many of our markets, including, Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Raleigh and Washington, DC, was partially offset by revenue declines in some of our other markets, including Philadelphia and St. Louis due to format changes, Los Angeles due to soft ratings and Baltimore and Detroit due to general market conditions. Excluding the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, our net broadcast revenue increased 7.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Programming and technical expenses include expenses associated with on-air talent and the management and maintenance of the systems, tower facilities, and studios used in the creation, distribution and broadcast of programming on our radio stations. Programming and technical expenses also include expenses associated with our research activities and music royalties. The increase in programming and technical expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily from our consolidation of the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, and to a lesser extent, an increase in programming expenses relating to our on-air talent, music royalties, incremental costs relating to expanding our presence on the Internet and three new stations launched in late 2004. Excluding the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, programming and technical expenses increased 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with our sales departments, offices, facilities and headcount (outside of our corporate headquarters), marketing expenses, back office expenses, and the advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily from our consolidation of the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media. The increase also resulted from higher compensation (mainly commissions and national rep fees) and other selling expenses driven by increased revenue, and sales expenses associated with three new stations launched in late 2004. Excluding the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation consist of expenses associated with maintaining Radio One’s and Reach Media’s corporate headquarters and facilities, including headcount. The increase in corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2005, resulted primarily from our consolidation of the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, increased compensation and additional professional fees. Excluding the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation increased 22.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we issued restricted stock to certain on-air talent, some of which vested immediately. As a result, the non-cash compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased from the expense recorded in the comparable period of the prior year.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was due primarily to the completion of amortization of some of our trade names in late 2004, partially offset by depreciation for our additional capital expenditures made since the second quarter of 2004. Excluding the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, depreciation and amortization expense decreased 27.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

The increase in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2005, resulted from the write-off of approximately $2.1 million of deferred financing costs associated with the June 2005 refinancing of our bank credit facilities. The refinancing consisted of entering into a $800.0 million credit agreement, and the simultaneous borrowing of $437.5 million to retire our previous bank credit facilities. The increase in interest expense also resulted from additional interest obligations incurred from borrowings to partially fund the February 2005 redemption of our outstanding HIGH TIDES for approximately $309.8 million, and the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media. The redemption of the HIGH TIDES was funded with the issuance of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes and $110.0 million borrowed under our previous revolving credit facility. The acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media was partially funded with $25.0 million borrowed under our previous revolving credit facility.

In July 2003, we entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and certain other investors to form TV One for the purpose of distributing a new cable television programming service. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion. In December 2004, we modified our methodology for estimating our equity in the net loss of TV One. As a result of this modification, we recognized a net loss of $763,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.8 million in for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

$15,095 | $16,247 | $(1,152) | (7.1 | )% |
The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to a favorable change to Ohio state tax laws enacted on June 30, 2005. The decrease was partially offset by our consolidation of the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, an increase in the reserve for contingencies, and an increase in our effective tax rate due to permanent differences between income subject to income tax for book versus tax purposes. Excluding the increase in the reserve for contingencies, and the decrease in the provision due to the Ohio tax law change, our effective tax rate as of June 30, 2005 was 40.2%, compared to 39.2% as of June 30, 2004. The effective tax rate as of June 30, 2005 does not reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), given we have not yet adopted this pronouncement. Excluding the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, the provision for income taxes decreased 12.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Net income applicable to common stockholders is defined as net income less dividends on our outstanding HIGH TIDES. The increase in net income applicable to common stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2005, was attributable to the increase in net income of approximately $3.3 million and a decrease in preferred stock dividends of approximately $7.3 million. In February 2005, we redeemed our outstanding HIGH TIDES using proceeds from our sale of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes, borrowings of $110.0 million under our revolving bank credit facility, and available excess cash.
Other Data
Station operating income. Station operating income consists of net income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity in net loss of affiliated company, minority interest in income of subsidiary, other expense, corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation and non-cash compensation expenses. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Station operating income increased to approximately $92.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to approximately $82.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $10.7 million or 13.0%. In addition to consolidating the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, this increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net broadcast revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above. A reconciliation of net income to station operating income is provided on page 27.
Station operating income margin. Station operating income margin represents station operating income as a percentage of net broadcast revenue. Station operating income margin is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Our station operating income margin was 52.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 52.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our station operating income was approximately $92.8 million and $82.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, while our net broadcast revenue was approximately $178.5 million and $155.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA was approximately $80.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to approximately $69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $10.3 million or 14.7%. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is provided on page 27.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under our bank credit facilities and other debt or equity financings.
In June 2005, we entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The term of the Credit Agreement is seven years and the total amount available under the Credit Agreement is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility. Borrowings under the bank credit facilities are subject to compliance with provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to financial covenants. We may use proceeds from the bank
37
credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business and other lawful corporate purposes, for our common stock repurchase program, and for direct and indirect investments permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that we must comply with, including (a) maintaining a ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of no less than 2.50 to 1.00, (b) maintaining a ratio of consolidated debt for borrowed money to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of, no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 from June 13, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00 from October 1, 2006 and thereafter, (c) limitations on liens, (d) limitations on the sale of assets, (e) limitations on the payment of dividends, and (f) limitations on mergers, as well as other customary covenants. Simultaneous with entering into the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $437.5 million under the Credit Agreement to retire all outstanding obligations under our previous credit agreement, dated as of July 17, 2000. The previous credit agreement provided for borrowings up to $600.0 million, and consisted of a $350.0 million term facility and a $250.0 million revolving facility.
As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $362.1 million available for borrowing, of which approximately $143.0 million is available to be drawn down, taking into consideration the covenants under the Credit Agreement. Both the term loan facility and the revolving facility under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.63% to 1.50%, or the prime rate plus a spread of up to 0.50%, depending on our leverage ratio. We also pay a commitment fee that varies depending on certain financial covenants and the amount of unused commitment, up to a maximum of 0.375% per annum on the average balance of the revolving facility. We believe that we are in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, we (a) recorded approximately $3.9 million of deferred financing costs to be amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement, and (b) wrote-off approximately $2.1 million of the previous bank facilities’ unamortized deferred financing costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005.
Under our Credit Agreement, we may be required from time to time to protect ourselves from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate hedge agreements. As a result, we have entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed to mitigate our exposure to higher floating interest rates. These swap agreements require that we pay a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount to a bank and that the bank pays to us a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2005, we have swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $100.0 million, and the periods remaining on these swap agreements range in duration from two to seven years.
Our credit exposure under these swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party; however, we do not anticipate non-performance. All of the swap agreements are tied to the three-month LIBOR interest rate, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. The valuation of each of these swap agreements is affected by the change in the three-month LIBOR rates and the remaining term of the agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a more favorable valuation, while a decrease in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a less favorable valuation.

(1) | A total of $100.0 million is subject to fixed rate swap agreements that became effective on June 16, 2005. |
(2) | Under our fixed rate swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate plus a spread based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our Credit Agreement. That spread is currently set at 1.25% and is incorporated into the applicable interest rates outlined above. |
(3) | Subject to rolling 90-day LIBOR plus a spread currently at 1.25% and incorporated into the applicable interest rate. |
In May 2001, we completed the private placement of $300.0 million of 87/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011, realizing net proceeds of approximately $291.8 million. We recorded approximately $8.2 million in deferred offering costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest rate method. The net proceeds of the offering were primarily used to repay amounts owed on our bank credit facilities and previously outstanding senior subordinated notes. In November 2001, the 87/8% senior subordinated notes were exchanged for an equal amount of notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”).
In February 2005, we completed the private placement of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, realizing net proceeds of approximately $195.5 million. We recorded approximately $4.5 million in deferred offering costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes using the effective interest rate method. The net proceeds of the offering, in addition to borrowings of $110.0 million under our previous revolving credit facility and available excess cash, were primarily used to redeem our outstanding HIGH TIDES.
Our Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes require that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things. Our Credit Agreement also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement or to otherwise raise funds in the debt markets.

Net cash flows from operating activities were approximately $44.8 million and $49.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 declined from the prior year primarily because of changes to the components of working capital. Specifically, trade accounts receivable increased due to sales growth and accounts payable and other current liabilities declined due to the elimination of the dividend accrual associated with the redemption of our outstanding HIGH TIDES.
Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $32.2 million and $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we completed the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media for approximately $55.8 million in a combination of approximately $30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of our Class D common stock, and we sold short-term marketable securities for approximately $7.0 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the assets of WRNB-FM (formerly WSNJ-FM) in the Philadelphia market for approximately $35.0 million, made a deposit of approximately $3.6 million for the acquisition of KRTS-FM in the Houston market, paid $3.5 million pursuant to our agreement to purchase all of the outstanding stock of New Mableton broadcasting Corporation (“NMBC”) for approximately $35.0 million and sold short term marketable securities for approximately $8.7 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of approximately $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we made a principal payment of $17.5 million on our previous term loan, paid approximately $437.5 million of amounts outstanding under our previous bank credit facilities with proceeds from the new bank credit facilities, repurchased shares of Class A and Class D common stock for approximately $14.8 million, realized net proceeds of approximately $195.5 million from the private placement of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, borrowed $135.0 million under our previous revolving credit facility, redeemed our outstanding HIGH TIDES, received approximately $6.0 million from our stock subscriptions receivable and paid dividends on our HIGH TIDES of approximately $7.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we made a principal payment of approximately $26.3 million on our previous term loan facility and also paid dividends on our HIGH TIDES of approximately $10.1 million.
We continuously review opportunities to acquire additional radio stations, primarily in the top 60 African-American markets, and to make strategic investments. Other than our agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation, DIRECTV and other investors to fund TV One (the balance of our commitment is $37.0 million as of June 30, 2005), we have no definitive agreements to make acquisitions of additional radio stations or to make strategic investments. We anticipate that any future acquisitions or strategic investments will be financed through funds generated from operations, cash on hand, equity financings, permitted debt financings, debt financings through unrestricted subsidiaries or a combination of these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if available, will be available on favorable terms.
As of June 30, 2005, we had a standby letter of credit in the amount of $417,000 in connection with our annual insurance policy renewals. To date, there has been no activity on the standby letter of credit.
40
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total debt, our ability to refinance the 87/8% senior subordinated notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date in 2011, and our ability to refinance the 63/8% senior subordinated notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date in 2013 will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, including factors beyond our control. During the remainder of 2005, our principal liquidity requirements will be for working capital, continued business development, strategic investment opportunities and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.
We believe that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated internal growth, for the foreseeable future, cash flow from operations together with other available sources of funds will be adequate to make required payments of interest on our indebtedness, to fulfill our commitment to fund TV One, to fund potential acquisitions, to fund anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to enable us to comply with the terms of our debt agreements. However, in order to finance future acquisitions or investments, if any, we may require additional financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004, we summarized the policies and estimates that we believe to be most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. There have been no material changes on such policies or estimates since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), (“SFAS No. 123(R)”),“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees, including employee stock purchase plans. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Disclosure of the effect of expensing the fair value of equity compensation is currently required under existing literature. The statement also requires the tax benefit associated with these share based payments be classified as financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows rather than operating activities as currently permitted. The Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the required implementation date for this statement from the third quarter of 2005 to the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year. We currently use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to compute the fair value of our stock options in connection with our disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized for such options at the date of grant. However, a number of technical implementation issues have not yet been resolved, including the selection and use of an appropriate valuation model, and therefore, we have not yet determined the ultimate impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

CAPITAL AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
Long-term debt |
In February 2005, we completed the private placement of $200.0 million 63/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013 realizing net proceeds of approximately $195.5 million. The net proceeds were primarily used to redeem our outstanding HIGH TIDES.
In May 2001, we completed the private placement of $300.0 million of 87/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 realizing net proceeds of approximately $291.8 million. In November 2001, the 87/8% senior subordinated notes were exchanged for an equal amount of notes registered under the Securities Act.
Lease obligations |
We have non-cancelable operating leases for office space, studio space, broadcast towers and transmitter facilities and non-cancelable capital leases for equipment that expire over the next 20 years.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting Radio One, see Item 7A: “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our desired disclosure controls objectives. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of reasonable assurance.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, now captioned, In re Radio One, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-10160. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies (Issuers) that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s (the IPO Lawsuits). In the complaint filed against Radio One (as amended), the plaintiffs claim that Radio One, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain of its public offerings violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) based on allegations that its registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.
In July 2002, Radio One joined in a global motion, filed by the Issuers, to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits. In October 2002, the court entered an order dismissing the Company’s named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to Radio One’s officers and directors until September 30, 2003. In February 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 and Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and most of the Issuers.
In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of Radio One’s Board of Directors approved in principle a settlement proposal with the plaintiffs that is anticipated to include most of the Issuers. The proposed settlement would provide for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the participating Issuers and their officers and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against their underwriters. The tentative settlement also provides that, in the event that plaintiffs ultimately recover less than a guaranteed sum from the underwriters, plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each participating Issuer’s insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the plaintiffs guaranteed recovery. In September 2003, in connection with the proposed settlement, Radio One’s named officers and directors extended the tolling agreement so that it would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. In June 2004, Radio One executed a final settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued a decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement subject to modification of certain bar orders contemplated by the settlement. In addition, the settlement is still subject to statutory notice requirements as well as final judicial approval.
Radio One is involved from time to time in various routine legal and administrative proceedings and threatened legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. Radio One believes the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
